President George W. Bush got no end of abuse for his seeming lukewarm interest in Hurricane Katrina and the flooding in New Orleans. Now Baton Rouge is underwater, most of Louisiana is half-drowned and President Obama plays golf on Martha's Vineyard.
Where is the outrage? Where is the condemnation of Obama's lack of interest in this natural disaster? Answer: there is a little in La. papers, not much elsewhere. If you needed more proof the media is in the tank for President Obama, and his chosen successor, Hillary Clinton, here it is. Exception: Fox takes note.
One of two things is true: either (1) Obama is being held to a very low standard because, after all, what can one expect; or (2) anything he chooses to do (or not do) is automatically blessed, and basically perfect, because his motives are deemed pure. Pick one.
My conclusion: either Bush was correct to let FEMA handle Katrina, basically hands-off, or Obama is as big a screw-up as Bush. Again, pick one.
